October 2017 Patrons and ko-fi Enablers

Finally back, and thanks for being my patron even during the hiatus and then reaching the $100 Goal! Gonna start blogging soon as well, and I think I’ll do these thank you drawings from now on, plus a monthly drawing of Myan “cosplaying” as other characters (likely other catgirls like Felicia). The following things were only possible with the pledges you’ve given me!

Learned Illustrator, though I gave up on it in the end since it’s just not fit for comics. Hopefully has some use if I need it!

Bought and learned Clip Studio, which is so much better for comics and art as you’ve seen with the things I’ve been making. Highly recommend this thing!

Dabbled a bit with animation. I might’ve missed using Flash when I switched to Clip Studio, though I do not miss the crashes. May even finish this if I have the time.

I post these around the 6th every month (after Patreon sends me the funds). If you were declined, your name might not show up here, but I’ll add it back after you’ve paid of course. If you’ve donated through ko-fi, only the ones who’ve donated for the previous month will show up. If I missed anyone or want to add a link to your website, please let me know!

Enthusiasm has gone for that secret side-project of mine and as usual, I seem to underestimate the time and effort that side-projects like the old Magicat Girl needs. So all that effort isn’t wasted, I’ve finally decided to reveal said side project to you: Act Cat, which is basically playing Charades with Myan.

The idea came from a comic (that I haven’t made yet) of Myan doing impressions, plus I wanted to some animation practice. Couple that with the comment system in the old Magicat Girl (which you can gamify), Act Cat was born. Myan would’ve acted out a variety of gestures using some simple and reusable looped animations. I hoped that eventually, the amount of animations would build up and make it easier for more Rounds to be made as time goes on, with the added bonus of being useful for reaction images as well.

It’s got rules like:

Each “player” can comment by using their points. You receive points each day, if you guessed correctly, or if you upvoted someone’s comment (if someone’s answer is better or came first).

Myan indicating if your guesses are warmer, colder, or correct.

Each Round lasts a week, with Myan winning (and gloating) if no one has guessed correctly.

Anyway, here are the very few animations I’ve done of it. Perhaps if I have the time I’ll finish it, but probably not with Cat Nine going on.

If you’re up for it, here’s how the first Round would’ve played, but I’ll only use text descriptions for the animations I haven’t finished. Ready?

And final round, sadly.

The category is a book of course. And Myan is just pretending to read here. (tip: it also had a couple of movies)

That’s two words. The first Round was supposed to be a tutorial like this. After the first Round, there would be no text on the upper left like “Number of words”.

[First Word – Number of syllables]

Myan tilting her head left and right, two times.

So that’s two syllables for the first word. In hindsight, I should’ve animated this before the one below.

Take this for example, it could represent: shaking, scared, fluffy, or something else, who knows? (tip: it’s something else)
